💬 Conversations about the future of product development are more important than ever. That’s why I’m speaking at UACon, covering how to be a successful AI-Enabled Developer and sharing ways to prepare for what’s ahead. I’m looking forward to seeing you there—sign up for free:

Damn, Bob, this is friggin wonderful writing... "As the crank is turned, the number columns do gyre and gimble in the ranks, and the mimsy carry spindles outgrabe their tallies upon the totals". I'm loving this book! ♥️ Uncle Bob Martin

A brief intro. Please RT. (or is it RX?)

If pair programming doesn't make sense to you, this video may help you sort it out. buff.ly/41ergRr

A team who allows messes to persist in their code will gradually slow down to a tiny fraction of their potential productivity. I’ve seen teams that have expanded their estimates out to weeks and months for jobs that ought to take a day or two. The slower the team goes, the more

Have you ever waded through a mess so grave that it took weeks to do what should have taken hours? Have you seen what should have been a one-line change, made instead in hundreds of different modules? These symptoms are all too common. Why does this happen to code? Why does good

NEW POST To work effectively with agentic coding assistants, Birgitta Böckeler found she needs to intervene, correct and steer all the time. She describes examples of these interventions indicating the skills we need to correct the tools' missteps martinfowler.com/articles/explo…

I'm going to write a script which commits and pushes to some useless repos several times a day so I can get that pretty GitHub graph that makes me look 1337.

I'm starting to see a worrying trend... I haven't figured out exactly the best way to say it, but I'll try my best here. I was fairly liberal up until the end of last year. There was probably little anyone could have said to change my mind on some of the core issues of the

No disrespect to Linus Torvalds, but this guy is the greatest geek alive 🫡 Created UNIX in 1971 when he was 28 years old. Created Go in 2009 when he was 66 years old😲 He also developed the B programming language (which led to C), created UTF-8 encoding (making international

Hey managers: Want to create a product faster? Easy. Remove the friction that you impose on the teams. When you don't impede the team's work, they can work blindingly fast. "Slow" is not the team's fault, it's yours.

Anthropic's CEO claims AI hallucinates less than humans. Bold statement. So I decided to test it by feeding the same FAKE theories to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to see which one calls me out first. The results shocked me 🧵

AI won’t replace software engineers, but it will expose the ones who never learned to think like engineers. Tools can speed you up, but if your thinking’s wrong, AI just gets you to the wrong place faster. Engineering still matters.

#starlink #starlinkdown It's down for me too.

Before AWS existed, one company ran the servers for Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook's entire app ecosystem. They owned Node.js, invented containers 8 years before Docker, and Peter Thiel even backed them. Then something happened...

I've written some and talked some about AI-accelerated development. I just wanted to express my awe at the capabilities of the tools in this area for a moment. I use Cursor as my IDE nowadays. Sometimes it can be a little over-helpful... like when I hit tab because I want to tab
